BarChick's cocktail of the week: Love Dup at The Parlour

This week, BarChick gets in the mood for lurve in time for Valentine's Day with a fruity prosecco cocktail
Fiery: Love Dup at The Parlour
Barchick10 February 2015

The drink: Love Dup

What’s in it? The Duppy Share rum, ginger beer, ginger wine, cranberry juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, fresh ginger, honey and nutmeg, topped up with prosecco.

Why should we try it? This fiery creation is the Valentine's cocktail for those who don’t do Valentine's. We’re not talking about the too-sweet combination of rose liqueur, Champagne and love hearts that’s served up in most bars this week — this is a Valentine's cocktail with a kick. The Duppy Share rum has created a fresh prosecco cocktail to spice up your date (or singles party, whatever), so expect a Caribbean flavour flex of fiery fresh ginger and tangy lime mellowed with honey and spiked with a good glug of The Duppy Share’s balanced barrel-aged rum.

Where do we get it? The Parlour in Kensal Rise is the local neighbourhood bar that every London postcode longs for: think brushed-up pub vibes with a beautiful blue bar and an outside terrace for the smokers. It's a stay all day hangout serving the brunch of champions, craft beers and modern British fare by day, and seriously good cocktails by night. The relaxed and easy-going vibe makes it the perfect date night spot, and rest assured, a little bit of rum can lead to a whole load of fun.

Who do we ask for? Once at the bar, give a shout out to Aiglars, he’s the legend from Latvia who’s fixing up West London with some great drinks.

How much is it? £8

Find it: 5 Regent Street, NW10 5LG; theparlourbar.co.uk
